📍 Local Knowledge
Sunny Cove in Santa Cruz is a semi-exposed beach break that offers occasional surf, best during the fall and winter months from October to February, with December often bringing the cleanest waves. It works well with west to southwest swells and light offshore winds from the northeast. Mid to high tide typically offers the most rideable conditions over its sand bottom. While not as consistent or powerful as nearby spots, Sunny Cove can deliver fun, mellow waves suited for intermediate surfers. Crowds vary, but the small takeoff zone and residential setting mean respectful etiquette is key.
